Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Characters and Stages Roster Discussion Thread

I want the flight speed to be faster so it feels like you are playing a flying character.

That's basically what I want in flight.

likely doesn't exist or is unusably bad

small screenspace and no plinkdash or zigzag dash means it's easy to chase down someone in flight mode and convert into something. think marvel 2 without a sj screen

Well, it definitely exists because ShockingAlberto said Captain Marvel was pretty much a flying She Hulk. But yeah, it should be interesting to see.
 
it's cool b/c that's his power anyways. he has a ton of unique shit and copycat stuff which really expresses his fighting style of just using moves from diff. chars in his own way

but yeah he also has a bunch of anims from other chars which i think most folks don't notice besides shit like his cr.m being ryu's

Taskmaster is definitely a worthy character. He could even take some new moves from some of the new characters.
 
Reality stone.

I was mainly talking about the three stones officially shown off but I do wonder what the reality stone will do.


And since someone brought it up, what are the tier lists for Marvel characters? Would Misty Knight be B tier for example since she was in Luke Cage? Is Arnim Zola A because he was in the Cap movies? Would Speedball still be C
D
even though he's getting a show?

Would Capcom characters like Captain Commando, Q (specifically Q. He's super popular in polls) and Jin be some sort of ascended B tier because of their popularity?

Honestly, the Capcom side of things is what i'm most excited about. Roster direction for Marvel side is fairly obvious, really. Capcom side has soooo much potential. Not just that, but I feel like the Marvel characters always get top billing & use in most Marvel games - would love to see some Capcom characters tear it up.

Yeah, I do think the roster for Marvel is going to be inspired by MCU very heavily, and they might save Mutants, F4, and Comic characters for DLC if needed. I could see only very few non-MCU characters making on the list.

However for Capcom, I really hope that it's going to make me very happy. They should surprise me with whatever they could pull with.


Pssst, could you tell me something about Breath of Fire Rep? ;) Like did they make in?! ;) (I'm joking so you don't need to answer that.) Unfortunately, I know that they probably wouldn't make in anyway.

Is there a good reason why Dormammu wouldn't make a return? I don't see him mentioned much, but I don't know if they'd cut him.
Anyone outside of the obvious characters like Spider-Man and Iron Man are pretty much fair game. No reason for him specifically, but there are a lot more popular characters to consider as "obvious characters" than there were 5-6 years ago.

I do think
Reality Gem is going to make a clone of the player's character, like Morrigan's Hyper.
Mind Soul prevent your opponent from using the bar or something like that.

You triggered me at Nova, and I'm pretty sure you triggered lucebuce12 & IntelliHeath at She-Hulk.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't since I already have a low expectation for her to return.

Grumble grumble not gonna buy if there's no she-hulk grumble grumble

I would buy the game regardless but I'm going to try to get support group to tweet those people for She-Hulk's return.

MODOK will most likely return.

Please do.

Woooooosh.
 
You must not like cool shit.

What in the hell is this post

I'm heated as a mf reading this

This whole "I don't want X character because he/she was top tier in previous game" is some special type of hate bias.

I'm tired of getting scraped by them and want my wins easy, just let me live dammit! If these cats were less ridiculous for once (Logan aside) then sure, keep em.

Except Zero. As someone said, that idiot was good in an Onimusha game. Dafuq. We need less lightsabers, not more. And Hayato has earned the right to be the first one. Then again, the Capcom side is gonna gather dust on my disc anyway.

---

My actual answer despite her being my favorite character last go-around is X-23. Too similar to that short bastard Logan and if there can only be one, it should be the OG. Plus if there's gonna be better female representation, I'm hoping that the baddest (Ms Van Dyne if ya nasty) Janet gets in. Widow or Kamala would be fun too.

I'll have plenty of teams to try between Parker/whatever other Spider-Man characters show up, Iron Guy, Captain America, Hawkeye, TimeStoneThor, and a probable Panther/Antman/StarLord if I were a betting man.

The genderbending is likely the very reason he won't ever appear in this series. Apparently, Marvel has a big problem with the idea of someone R63-ing their chars in a game like this. Doubtful that things have changed that much since MvC3.

Too bad, too, because it would be a funny way to make a few nice in-jokes here and there to their own source material. Even if it was to the tune of turning Spider-man into the likeness of his daughter from another timeline, Spider-girl, for a few seconds.

They could do what they did with Anakaris and have Dimitri turn everyone into the same generic girl, but that would definitely ruin the spirit of the move.

Dorm is not only a bad ass looking character but he is relevant in the MCU as a powerful villain. And his moveset/design in Marvel 3 was immaculate, he is ripe to get reused.

It would be unexpected if he doesn't mske it in.

Ya know what other baddie is almost assuredly in? Thanos. And he's on basically no one's radar right now. I can't wait to throw people in bubbles all over again.

I think Thanos would get a full rework to more closely resemble his newer outfit and abilities especially with the MCU influence.

Yeah it's a game about Infinity Stones... I doubt Thanks doesn't make it in.

Probably is the true bad guy instead of Ultron Sigma.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing Bubble return, but that shitty tackle headbutt needs to go.

I'm quite sure he'd receive an overhaul considering he didn't have many moves in MSH/MVC2.

I doubt it. Ultron Sigma works much better as the villain of the crossover game, being the probably-unplayable fusion of two of the companies' most iconic villains, and it's not like the world's lacking in "Thanos goes after the Infinity Stones" stories...

Y'all tripping. Trish's playstyle and role is too unique for Capcom to replace her. During interviews they kept saying that Capcom wanted to have a sexy character and they didn't have a worthy iconic "sexy" character except for Trish, which is one of the reasons she was included. And her trap-based gameplay is also extremely unique, like, we only had 3 characters that had that style in MVC3 (her, Dr. Strange and arguably Phoenix).

The only character from Capcom that is iconic enough to be able to replace Trish's "sexy" appeal is, ironically, my other favorite character, Ada Wong from RE.
 
Even though it's from Avengers Assemble, after the Avengers were able to defeat Thanos and retrieve the Gauntlet, Ultron showed up and stole them for himself. He then went on to be their next biggest enemy. Thanos being outstripped by Ultron/Sigma as the main villains wouldn't be that shocking.

I honestly believe he'll be in the base roster for sure.

Yeah, I'm confident Thanos is in the game in--at least--a playable capacity.
 
Are there any other Avengers enemies that stand out as being likely for Infinite?

I can't imagine how Kang would play, but he seems like one of those that would have an unusual moveset. Hyperion would probably be Capcom's version of Superman.

I've been trying to think of more villains in general.

Given that the story is only 2 hours long I wouldn't be surprised if it were mostly taken up by Hero v. Hero conflict before everyone teams up to fight Sigmatron.

Apparently who owns Kang is up in the air between Marvel and Fox. But as a time traveler, he can probably do plenty. Things he has done: Summon his past/future self, dinosaurs, Revolutionary war soldiers, etc. He should also be able to pull weapons from across time and use them.

She's not that unique, she is an air dasher with sword normals and traps.

There are way more iconic sexy characters that Capcom can use. They can use Jill, Regina, Nina, Lady, Poison, Ada Wong, Viper, Nilin, Vanessa..

Being sexy isn't some unique trait. I don't want Capcom to be picking characters based on sexyness but rather popularity and game play significance.

I posted early on accident, had a whole train of thought for Kang that I kinda lost.

To continue answering your question: Baron Zemo, Enchantress, Dracula, Serpent Society character, Zodiac member, Crossbones, Madame Masque...
 
The reality stone summons Regina

EDIT: After some contemplation, I'd really like Jawmuncher to win this time around.

What would happen to Jawmuncher if both Regina got into MvCi and a new DC game happened AND snake returned to smash? Would jaw cease to exist? His purpose in life would be gone.

Here's how I see the veterans situation going down.

Before I get leapt on for Zero being gone, with both X and Sigma being in this game, I don't think there's room for anymore X series Megaman characters.

Also, even if we do get X-Men back eventually, Phoenix being so controversial last game seals her fate IMO.

The rest I feel are pretty self-explanatory.

Interesting stuff about Kang. I only really knew him from the EMH cartoon, but I liked what I saw there.

That's a pretty unique list. I remember Crossbones from seeing him fight Cap a good amount. I'm guessing Zemo would fall into another swordsman.

You have those other villains like Mandarin and Bullseye. I always wanted to see Bullseye in a Capcom fighting game because I could just think of so many cool things they could do with him.

Another guy I just randomly thought of was Wonder Man. Never saw him suggested anywhere, but I like the Ionic abilities. The possibilities are really endless when it comes to roster.

Loki and maybe Hela are the likely Avengers villain aside from aforementioned Dorm, Thanos and Ultron. Mostly because there's a new Thor movie coming and Thor doesn't really have anyone from his side. Maybe Red Skull for Captain America.

Most of the other MCU Avenger villains have been wack af. Iron Monger, Whiplash, Mandarin, Ronin, Malekith, Baron Zemo, Crossbones, Yellowjacket, Abomination etc.


I really hope this game doesn't have an overflow of just regular humans with tools. I can give pass to Starlord but that's about it.

You think barely any of the female cast will return? I think Shehulk and Jill should be bumped up to maybe at least
